Press“Located in a 1930s-era building, Violet Bistro is one of the most romantic dinner spots in town (let alone Westwood). Their sizable outdoor patio is enclosed by brick walls, string lights and foliage from above, and dotted with bistro chairs and tile-top tables. Stop by for dinner and indulge in classics like French onion soup, steak au poivre, duck leg confit and Basque cheesecake for dessert.”
